Haha no doubt man, i was just bustin your *****

 

Nice car! I live in Fayetteville. I surf Wrightsville Bch every weekend. As a matter of fact, I'm going to the pro-am contest tomorrow (observing). I'd like to hear your car in person. Does Wilmington even have a Porsche dealer? I've always been a big fan of SC'ing but I'm too scared (translation: I don't have enough money to fix it if it breaks) to do it. I follow the SC posts pretty closely. I wish you and the others the best of luck. I hope your mods stand the test of time, because if they do I'll supercharge my car when the warranty expires. For now, I'm considering getting the aerokit, Tubi, PSS9's (PASM compatible) and a big brake kit. I e-mailed Champion for some info on the F77 upgrade but they haven't responded.

 

love the progress so far! can't wait to see the finished product!

 

Cool man. I'm at Hendrick again here in Charlotte having a code cleared. No biggie, I don't think. Yeah, I'd love to meet up with you some time and have a beer. I would suggest you looking at/hearing the Fabspeed. I can't imagine a more beautiful looking and sounding exhaust. I went with it over the Tubi not because of cost, but it is just great. Again, hit me up. I'd love to hook up.
Peace.

The rear looks so smooth that I'm considering not doing the Rinspeed rear bumper. I may still do the skirts. It's just taking forever to get the stuff!

 

Jared, PM me today please

 

Done. Talk to you soon.

 

Listen guys. I know it's been a while since I posted. I'm really trying to be good about this SC thing. It never has run right. It coded. It WILL NOT IDLE. You never know how sucky that is until it kills at EVERY LIGHT unless you clutch the crap out of it. It could be an easy fix. We'll see. I can't get anyone to call me back. The dealership does, but the dealership didn't pay. I did. And I call and leave nice, friendly, pleading messages.

Before I went through typing all that is going on, I wanted to wait to see how Evo is handling it. I understand that s*#^ happens. But it's all about getting it fixed. It's been weeks, fellas. I'm about done waiting and I will tell you what I feel. There are times when I... well. Let's just see. Let's just say, they have just a few options.

1- They buy a plane ticket.

2- They give me my money back and pay the dealership for their labor.

3- The actually work on a solution.

I consider myself a very easy going customer. When #%$&* started #)(*&ing up, I called and told them that "I knew what I was getting into with all this. It's to be expected. Let's just get it fixed." I'm about to go ape#$@& boys.

Knowing that I could be venting a bit with all this, there's still a chance for them to be outstanding citizens here. Either way, I'll tell you all the whole story soon. I just want to know how it ends before I do.

For starters though... apparently you can't just buy a SC kit from them, be one of ten (they told me) on 997Ss, 'be the only one with problems' and get a call back, no matter how nice you are. I hope they handle me the right way. We'll see. If they do, I'll let you know. If not, you'll know about it too. But either way, they should call me back. Don't you all think? They disagree with me apparently. And Russ, are you Todd or what? The instructions sent over were of MexicoBlue's car. How 'bout some help here, buddy?

 

Umm Wow Jared! I have to say, there comes a point in time where it has to be aired out to get **** taken care of. I cannot believe you are having issues like this, especially by being calm, asking for help and not getting any, that's truely sad

Evo Ms are amazing people it seems, i hope they resolve this for you with no added problems, i like their products but this is news to me! Hope your car is in working order shortly, goodluck.

 

Yeah. We'll see. I like them when I talk to them, which is one of the reasons I chose Evo over other SCs. But now, when I need help... no hear. Pisses me off. I'm not unreasonable. Just let me know you give a ****. You know?

 

J man, i know where your coming from. Happened to me with my M3 and parts, believe me.

But this is surprising, especially since your post is civil and straight forward, not coming on here bashing away! I hope it gets resolved.

 

that is one of the nicest 997S's ive seen... super nice!

 

I've had two encounters with Evo. One bad and one good.

First experience. I ordered a Porsche Short Shift Kit from the dealer. Made an appointment for the installation. It took about a week to get an appointment. My dealership is about an hour away from where I live. I ordered an Evo link kit. Paid extra for 2 day delivery so I could have it in time for the installation of the short shift kit. Appointment comes around and no Evo link kit. The consequence cost me the labor to remove the center console twice. I don't recall what the hours were, but I think it was around 1.5 to 2 hours. I think Porsche techs make around $95/hr in Cary, NC. I had to make another appointment. Plus I had to take another day off work to drive an hour to the dealer to get the link kit installed. I was hot. I called Evo and spoke to Todd. He offered me a free hat. I didn't take him up on the offer.

Second experience. I went to Pheonix last summer to visit some people. I stopped in the Evo shop and spoke to Todd personally. I didn't tell him who I was. He was very friendly and showed me around his shop. He answered a lot of questions and seemed really cool.

Take that for what its worth.

 

Thanks Jon. And thanks Quick for the insight. We'll see what happens. Everybody can have a bad day or week. We'll see how they are this coming week. Again, they've been great on many, many respects and we need tuners like them in this industry. I just want to see this through to a perfect running car. We'll get there.

 

I wonder what is causing that though, i bet its tuning! Did you do a lightweight flywheel??
